W~AsHISsroN, Dec. 21.-The president to-
DAY TRANSMITTED TO congress the report Of Ed.
ward Atkinson, Of Massachusetts, who WAS
designated TO visit the financial centers of
Europe In order TO ascertain the feasibility OF
establishing by international standard n tixity

the free coinage OF both. Atkinson 81 mmar-
Ices the results OF hi, inquiries under four
heads, "a follows:
i. There Is no prospect Of any change in
the present monetary system OF the European
states which can modify or influence the
financial policy OF the United States st this
present time.
2. There arc no indications OF any change
In The policy Of the financial suthorities Of
the several states visited which warrant any
expectation that the subjet Of the Ol-metallic
treaty Ter common legal tender, coupled with
free coinage OF silver, will be seriously con-
sidered at the present time by any Of them.
s. There Is no indication that the subjsct
OF si-metallIsm has received any Intelligent or
serious consideration, outside Of . small cir
Gle In each country named, as q probable or
possible remedy for the existing causes Of al.
legged depression In trade.
4. There !s no considerable politically or
ganized body Of influential persons in either
country with whom a combination c. uld be
made, II such combination or cooperation
were desirable on the part of q similar BODY
Ia the United Stat ., for promoting any def
mite or Practicable measures Of legislation to
bring about the adoption of the b!-metallic

action is misconstrued and may tend to re-
tard rather than promote the object aimed at.

Suppose Tidewater Peculiarities

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazettel
NORFOLK, VA, June 10.-One is impressed
with the individuality and want of homogeneitv
Of our lower country people. Coming, as they
have, from every part of the world, and severing
their old ties and associations they seem entirely
regardless Of the numerous opportunities of FORM
ing new ones. If they want to purchase anything
they will as soon patronize Yankee as Virgin
ian, or GENTLE Jew. They take the first
need anything in those lines. Hence if.a person
IS taken suddenly i'll they rush into the streets
and summon the first doctor they meet, whether q
scientific or homeopathic one.
There is curious proclivity among many Of
our people to eliminate from our alphabet the let
ter w" They say VERY" vomiting, wiper,
"wisage" virgin" "wex," "waior," "walue,"
visible" &c, instead of very" vomiting" &c.
Another popularity is the standard by which
every calculation OF estimate of value is made.
II " me, - myself" is that standard with many.
So overwhelming is the principle in some in
stances that one of our gray councillors affirmed
the other day: IF you imagine l work for any
body eses benefit but my own, you are vastly
mistaken" Here is man elected to an office
whose only legitimate function is pro bono publico
who unblushiugly afiirms that he uses it only fer
his own interests. Fortunately there are many of
our people who are philanthropic, patriotic and
philosophical who, could their wishes be carried
out, would place Norfolk in year on such boom
as $50 years have not effected; but, alas they
can't have their way.

NENIA, Ohio June 13-At jamestown
This county, on Saturday night at about
midnight, Peter Betters, a colored man, made
a desperate attempt at murder aud rape
upon an old colored woman, Martha Thomas
aged nearly rs years. He gained entrance
to her log cabin by digging trench from
outside and coming up from the hole into the
room in which the old woman was sleeping.
A most desperate struggle ensued in which
the old woman was terribly mangled and was
unconscious when found. The alarm was
given and the assailant arrested, but broke
through the guard and escaped. The neigh
borhood was greatly excited over the affair
and the fugitive negro hunted down. In
the fair grounds, where the cyclone played
such fearful havoc sometime ago, are many
trees bent by the storm and making excel

of Betters was found hanging this (NIonday)
morning, cold and dead. Whether hung by
the mob or by his own hand cannot be de-.
